The dragon plague in Dragon’s Dogma 2 can become a real problem. It sends players into a panic and makes them resort to harsh measures. Sometimes, even their own pawn must be sacrificed.
What is the dragon plague? Currently, a hot topic is circulating in the community of Dragon’s Dogma 2: the dragon plague.
This is a disease that your pawns can contract from other assisting pawns in the Rift.
Everything you need to know about the dragon plague has been compiled in a dedicated article for you. One thing is certain: the plague can become a real problem. In the worst case, it can wipe out entire villages and towns.
Yes, you read that right. It’s not just your pawn that falls ill and starts behaving strangely. They might infect the residents of a city, causing them to drop dead one by one.
This also affects important NPCs like quest givers or merchants. This shows that the dragon plague should not be underestimated.
However, there are ways to solve the problem. The plague is transmitted from pawn to pawn. So, if your pawn infects another, they will regain their health. But by then, it might already be too late, and the village where you are trying to complete important tasks may fall victim to the plague.
That’s why many players are currently resorting to more drastic measures.
The loyal pawns must die
What is the community doing? The dragon plague manifests in the red, glowing eyes of the pawns. They seem to be suffering from headaches but become stronger in combat at the same time.
Could the plague actually bring some advantage? No, says the community and does what needs to be done. As Reddit user ChudSampley writes in a post, the dragon plague is a “heinous” mechanic in the game.
At the same time, he also finds it amusing to see panic break out at the slightest sign of infection. The effective solution is: throw your pawns to their certain death.
Deep water is especially suitable for this, where both enemies and pawns are consumed by bizarre water tentacles.
Capcom has already announced the first updates – but the community has many more wishes.
Are the pawns dead forever? Fortunately, the death of your companion is only temporary. You can resurrect your pawns at the next Rift stone.
And if important NPCs die from the plague, you can also resurrect them at the gravekeeper in the town of Vernworth. Or you can use one of the valuable Lazarus stones.
Other players report on Reddit that you just need to wait long enough for the population of a locality to resurrect itself.
However you tackle the problem, killing your own companions is probably the fastest and most effective way to rid yourself of the plague. However, you must be prepared to sacrifice a loyal companion. Will they be able to forgive you? After all, your pawns like to gossip about your escapades to the brothel.
